Located on the shores of the Tagus river, Belém is an enchanting place to visit, especially on a sunny day thanks to its riverside that runs for kilometers, as well as its wide open spaces with parks and gardens, and so many monuments in Manueline style shining under the sunshine.

If you're looking for the best Natas visiting Pastéis de Belém is a must.
